WASHER PROTECTIVE EARTH CONNECTION AND EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING
Independent of the supply cable, the washer must be connected to the laundry protective earth system
with a separate conductor. The protection conductor, enabling this connection, is not included with the washer.
If there are other washers/appliances with exposed conductive parts, which can be touched simultaneously,
make sure to make equipotential bonding between all these appliances. The external protective terminal for
this purpose is located on the rear panel of the machine frame (figure 4.4.E., pos.3). The minimum protection
conductor’s cross section depends on the supply cable cross section and can be found in table 4.4.
However, for the protection purposes with the supply cable section of min. 4 mm² we recommend to select
a larger conductor section, i.e. 6 mm².
